The State Department said Friday that the FBI has asked the department to halt its internal investigation into emails sent or received by Hillary Clinton while she led the department, emails that are now deemed to contain "top secret" information.
State had been reviewing whether the information was deemed top secret at the time it was sent, or whether the information only became top secret later. But State Department spokesman Elizabeth Trudeau said the FBI asked the department to stop so as not to interfere with the FBI's own investigation.
She said State asked the FBI for a ruling in February on whether it should proceed, and that the FBI told State to stand down on its review sometime in March.
"We contacted the FBI to solicit a judgement from them as to the best path forward," Trudeau told reporters when asked about the review of the 22 emails that included "top secret" information. She didn't clarify if the decision affected hundreds of other emails that included classified information.

Meatloaf, don't you think it's interesting and significant that Huma is NOT using this same lawyer the other aides the others are using?
New bumper sticker “ Hillary stinks! throw her ass in jail!”
If you understand the signs theres a battle about to begin that will make Clintons impeachment look like an episode of Mr. Rogers.
That also means Hillary drops out of the race.
Actually, this is probably good, as the State Dept is notorious for leaks and political moles.

That is the truest statement I’ve heard in a long time.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
“How can the FBI order a Department of State to stand down?? They have no such authority. The best they can legally do is ask, to seek States cooperation.”
I hear ya. That’s why the headline didn’t seem to comport with the story.
How much effort does it take to stop doing nothing?
That’s another piece of the puzzle. The aides are being sheltered by an unknown benefactor. Eliminating legal fees is a tremendous boon. I’m wondering if Hillary’s long time lawyer, David Kendall, will show up as her attorney. All of this tells a story if we pay attention.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
The noose is tightening on bucked toothed Brere Wabbit!
